What surprises me is how much I like some of these records, yet, for one reason for another, I can’t find room for them in my Top 20. There’s no doubt that many of these records would have been Top 20, probably higher, in recent years.

On the flip side, this part of the list also captures a number of follow-ups for which I had high hopes. Not that the records are without merit but I had hoped for more from Lee Ranaldo, TOY and Anna Calvi based on their most recent efforts. Whilst Arcade Fire did make it onto the list I really don’t know what to make of ‘Reflektor’ although the fact that I’m still listening to it is a good sign as the second play took over a month to actually happen.

Perhaps even more surprising though is the list of LPs that didn’t make it even into my top 50. But British Sea Power, Chelsea Light Moving, Disappears, Flaming Lips, Fuzzy Lights, Cate Le Bon, No Age and The Paradise Motel all came well short of what I was looking for.
